Anyone found a remedy for how hot the car gets because of the sunroof.
I know there is a sliding screen but has anyone fitted some sort of sun blind above this.
Hope I have explained it well enough.

What about cutting one of those foiled heat reflecting screens to shape and fitting it between the sunroof and factory screen.

Move to the North.

Park in the shade.

There is a company that knock out these louver panels for the old Defender............ and would you believe it they fit the rear passenger's doors of your Freelander 2.

Sorted.

That's what polybatts are for. Fill up the roof window.

Hold the shade in the almost shut position, and then slide in a sheet of white cardboard. I do this for the whole of the summer months, only using the open roof in the winter. You might ask, why have a sunroof? to which I answer, it came with the car.

Damn, I love a sunroof but haven't got one on this Freelander. A few years back virtually everything came with sunroofs (ok it was probably early 90s now I think about it) pre aircon days.
Had 2 on the Discovery which were brill, if a bit leakey. A couple of our work Skodas have full length glass roofs but they don't open, don't really see the point in that. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Panoramic Glass roof Bob,
So you can admire the cloud formations as you drive along.

It seems that in most cars today the option is non opening panoramic glass roof or black headlining, sales and marketing making customers buy the panoramic roof the car is claustrophobic in black. I found using the tilt was adequate to dump heat, but in Cyprus in summer a fully open sun roof was too hot on the head  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Quite like a black headliner we have 2 VW R lines a Tiguan and a Polo in the family with them. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948
